Hu Lei brought the two of them to the principal’s office in exasperation, intending to let principal Zheng Qin handle it.
At this moment, Zheng Qin was sitting on a chair, leisurely sipping his tea. When he saw Hu Lei, he immediately greeted him, then said, “Why’re you here? You’re just in time to have a cup of tea.”
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea into an extra cup.
Hu Lei took the cup and downed it in one gulp. After calming himself down, he said, “Principal, two students fought in public. They have no discipline whatsoever.”
Immediately after, Zheng Qin saw a boy slowly walk in while holding his stomach. Behind him was a lazy looking girl.
Seeing the girl’s face, the tea in Zheng Qin’s mouth instantly spurted out and splashed onto the table.
“Principal, are you alright?” Hu Lei asked.
“I accidentally choked on it. I’m fine.” He felt that the tea in his hand suddenly did not taste nor smell good.
Zheng Qin quickly wiped away the water on the table and the cold sweat on his forehead. He laughed dryly. “Why did the both of you fight?”
“I don’t know either. She kicked me down for no reason. Maybe she doesn’t like me,” Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said with a slightly aggrieved tone.
On the way here, he had already thought of what to say.
Lu Jinqi dared to kick him and made him look so miserable. He definitely wanted a way to chase her out.
“What do you have to say for this?” Zheng Qin pointed his words at her, hinting for her to explain.
Who would have thought that Lu Jinqi’s eyes would suddenly turn cold. The words she said were wild and abrupt. “Correction, it’s not a fight. I’m the one who beat him up.”
Before Zheng Qin could say anything, Hu Lei could not sit still and interjected. “How can such a student say something like this? Principal, how can a student like this stay in our school? I suggest that you expel her.”
“Director Hu, let’s all calm down first before deciding. There must be another reason behind this. We can’t just casually expel a student. If this gets out, it won’t be good for our school.” Zheng Qin’s face was full of smiles, but in his heart, he was bitterly crying. ‘My my, why did this happen?’
“Then why did you beat him up?”
Ignoring Zheng Qin’s gaze, Lu Jinqi’s lips curled up. “It’s probably because he looks ugly to me.”
Zheng Qin and Hu Lei’s faces visibly twitched. At the same time, they looked at Zhang Hao and realized that what she said was not wrong. He did indeed look a little ugly.
Sensing their gazes, Zhang Hao’s face flushed red with anger. His eyes were filled with hatred towards Lu Jinqi. At that moment, the office door suddenly opened.
Cheng Xin’s hair was disheveled, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
“Teacher Cheng, what are you doing here?” Zheng Qin asked in surprise.
Cheng Xin took a deep breath and pulled Lu Jinqi behind her. “Principal, I know the whole story. You can’t completely blame Lu Jinqi for this.”
“Teacher Cheng,” Lu Jinqi looked at the figure in front of her and was stunned. She did not expect someone to defend her.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Cheng Xin interrupted, “You don’t need to explain yourself. I won’t let you drop out of school.”
As a qualified teacher, she tried her best to never give up on any student. This was something she had always stood by. When Lu Jinqi heard this, she smiled. What a kind teacher.
“Teacher Cheng, Lu Jinqi said that she was the one who beat someone up, yet you still intend on defending her. Don’t forget that the person who got beaten up was also one of your students,” Hu Lei glanced at her, his words carrying a sense of warning.
Cheng Xin mustered her courage and retorted unceremoniously, “Since you’ve mentioned that they’re both my students, as a teacher, I naturally won’t take sides. However, the cause of this incident was student Zhang Hao’s provocation, which led to the later scene.”
Zhang Hao, who had thought of a meticulous plan, did not expect Cheng Xin to say this. Instantly, his hatred for her grew.
“Are you sure you’re not lying?”
Cheng Xin’s expression did not change. She looked at him calmly. “You don’t know whether I’m lying or not. However, the students in the class have already told me about the whole thing.”
What she meant was that they would not know who is the real liar here. This was because she already knew the origin of the whole story to those that witnessed it.
“Well, since both parties are at fault, the expulsion will be waived, but there must be punishment.” Zheng Qin, who had a sense of forgiveness, revealed an amiable smile. “How about this, each of you write a self-reflection and read it in front of the entire school tomorrow.”
Hu Lei and Zhang Hao stared at him with their mouths agape. It was over just like that. The interrogation had been for nothing.
“Principal, I’m afraid to say that it might not be severe enough of a punishment,” Hu Lei said, unwilling to give up.
Writing a self-reflection was not considered as a punishment. Students who started fights with others should be expelled.
“Alright, it’s decided. You can all leave.” Zheng Qin waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.
Cheng Xin walked Lu Jinqi and Xiao Yao to the entrance of the class and instructed, “Get to class. Don’t let this happen again.”

Lu Jinqi casually returned to her seat and pulled out a piece of paper from the table. She started to write her self-reflection paper.
Xiao Yao could not help but glance at the scribbled words. However, when he saw the content, the smile on his face froze.
He could not help but ask, “Jinqi, what are you writing?”
Lu Jinqi’s hands did not stop. She glanced at him and smiled playfully. “Can’t you read? It’s a letter of apology.”
Xiao Yao was silent.
It was only after seeing it that he wondered to himself, ‘How is that a letter of apology? That is definitely a warning letter.’
Wen Yu, who was in the front row, heard the conversation and turned his head curiously. Then, she looked at Lu Jinqi with admiration. ‘As expected of sister Jinqi. Even her self-criticism is different.’
“Yayin, did you hear? Lu Jinqi was caught by the director for hitting someone,” Zhu Lanzhi gloated.
Song Yayin was slightly stunned. There was worry in her eyes.
“How could this be? Will Jinqi be punished?”
“Definitely. I think she’s going to be expelled.”
Song Yayin lowered her head, the corners of her lips curled up gently. Her hair covered her smirk as she thought, ‘Expelled? That would be for the best. How could a person like her be worthy of my school? She should be suppressed by me, she would never be able to turn over a new leaf.’
…
The school field was filled with people, and a group of people were chattering amongst themselves.
“Didn’t they say that they were going to have a meeting? Why hasn’t it started yet?”
“It should be soon.”
“They’re here.”
Everyone looked towards the rostrum. The principal, director, and a few others had already taken their seats.
Hu Lei stood up, swept his gaze across the room, and spoke in a serious tone, “Regarding our school’s Grade 12 Class Six. Zhang Hao and Lu Jinqi fought in public. The school has given the following punishments because of the reason behind the incident. The two students must read a self-reflection essay in front of the entire school’s teachers and students. If this happens again, they will be expelled.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar below.
“What kind of punishment is this?”
“That’s right. If you’re not expelled, shouldn’t you be given a demerit?”
Upon hearing these words, Song Yayin’s hands suddenly clenched tightly, her eyes were cold.
How could it not be an expulsion.
“Quiet.” Hu Lei slapped the table, his voice spreaded across the entire field from the microphone.
“Now, please come up to the stage to review your essays.”
Zhang Hao wore his school uniform. As he stood on the rostrum and looked at the mass of people, his legs could not help but tremble. He opened his mouth to review his paper.
“Through self-reflection, I realized that it was my fault. I shouldn’t have mocked my classmate, I shouldn’t have provoked them, and finally, I would like everyone to make sure I never elicit such behavior ever again.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lei nod his head and immediately ran off. Then, everyone saw a thin figure appear on the rostrum.
They were instantly shocked by her behavior.
Lu Jinqi casually propped her hands on the railing. Her eyes were cold. The corners of her lips twitched, and her cold voice carried a hint of laziness. She exuded the aura of a mafia boss.
“I’m Lu Jinqi from Grade 12 Class Six. Yesterday, I only intended to get along well with my classmate. I couldn’t help but show my love for Zhang Hao, but I didn’t expect him to not be able to take it. Regarding this, I apologize. I shouldn’t have lost control of my strength, so I’ll deepy reflect on myself and my behavior. Next time, be careful of what you do to others.
“I’m very sorry that this matter has disturbed the entire school, but I don’t think this will be the last time. So, please take care of yourself, and don’t threaten others for fun.”
Lu Jinqi paused for a moment, her lazy gaze swept past the students, one by one. Then, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

“In addition, those who need care can come over anytime. This is my reflection. Thank you.”
Returning the microphone to Hu Lei, Lu Jinqi quickly left the rostrum, leaving the crowd dumbfounded.
That was not a reflection.
On the rostrum, the principal pressed his temples and smiled bitterly.
What a nuisance.
